Good morning from the port in Puerto Vallarta.
You get a clue behind me of what I’m about to do.
We’re getting on a boat to go snorkelling
and I can’t wait to get out on the water.
Buenos dias.
Gracias.
Thank you.
We’ve made it out to the water.
This is called the Bay of Banderas
and it’s one of top five longest and deepest bays in the entire world,
so this is where we’re going to spend the day.
We’re headed now to a beach called Majahuitas
and the direct translation apparently of that is ‘where the jungle meets the sea’
so I think that’s going to basically describe the beach that we’re on the lookout for right now.
It’s gonna take a little while to get there so we’re just relaxing,
Marc has taken his sea sickness pill…
Yeah.
And…and we’re just…
I have my sea legs.
He’s getting his sea legs back.
And, honestly, just being out on the boat with the waves like this I just instantly feel calmer,
so I’m just excited for everything that today’s going to bring.
Hard to do that with one hand, eh?
Yeah.
A little tricky.
Easy on the pineapple juice.
Yeah.
Tequila!
But here’s another surprise: the surprise is Mara!
Oh my god.
Mara, high five!
There you go.
Give it up for Mara!
Mara rocks!
Yeah!
Now do I have any brave volunteers to come down here and kiss Mara?
Kiss!
Smile!
Kiss her!
Wow.
She liked that one!
Ooh la la.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Smile!
Yeah.
I’m in love with a sea lion.
Smile over here.
Smile!
Now kiss her.
Ooh la la!
Mara, you got a boy!
You can pet her on her neck, if you like.
Aww.
Very nice.
So cool!
I’m in love with a sea lion.
I am too.
She’s excited.
Mara, smile.
Black and sexy.
So, guys, once again, give Mara a big round of applause.
Yeah, shake it once again, Mara.
Shake it, shake, shake, shake.
Give it up for Mara!
Bye, Mara!
Nice.
Just got out of the water for the first time with the snorkels.
There were lots of fish.
Water was a little fresh when we first got in
but it actually felt really, really good after being on the boat.
Definitely awake now.
Yeah, it woke us up.
We saw a huge school of fish as soon as we jumped in the water.
Yeah, they were all around us as soon as I put my mask down which was really cool.
We didn’t have to go to find them, they found us.
They found us.
Yeah.
It’s like they were greeting us in the water.
Perfect place to snorkel.
I’m about to show you guys a trick
that only two people in the whole world knows how to do it.
One of them is obviously me and the other one is Harry Potter.
Hopefully it works.
Ready?
See the way it sticks?
Wow.
Awesome, right?
Time to get out, I know.
Too short always.
Saw some good fish though.
They have these cool like electric scooters or power snorkel
and so Marc is just jumping off the boat
and I’m going to watch him from up here
and then I want to try it myself.
We’ve never done this before.
Is it working?
Yeah.
I’ve seen SCUBA divers use these and I’ve always wanted to try one
so I know it’s not the same thing but it’s as close as I’m going to get today.
I’m very excited.
I like anything with the word ‘power’ in it.
I’m under the boat.
Look at how clear the water is.
Marc is going under the catamaran.
Bye!
Ok now I have to run around the boat,
without falling off the boat,
to try to catch him on the other side.
Ok.
Woo!
Motorin’ motorin’.
I’m not really motoring at all.
You’re still kicking, I see.
I could probably swim faster.
Arriba!
Viva Mexico!
So fun, right?
That is so much fun.
It’s like riding a bull.
It’s like you’re riding a bull in Calgary.
My cowboy, inner cowboy, came right out there.
Oh my god, so fun.
That was wicked.
Banana boat, check.
So nice.
This is the life.
So we did snorkel,
then power snorkel,
then banana boat,
then inner tube,
then lily pad.
Yeah.
Not a bad afternoon.
All at one beach.
That is awesome.
Love it.
Sitting at the front of the boat heading back towards Puerto Vallarta,
and seeing the city on the horizon,
with this delicious bento box lunch,
and just knowing the beautiful fish and the sea lions
and all those other creatures that are underneath the waves that we’re looking at now,
it just does not get better.
It’s been an amazing day.
So, so much fun to get out on the water.
I hope you guys have enjoyed it.

and remember to subscribe for lots more travel adventures
and I’ll see you in the next one.
It’s my happy dance.
